Nice job Cobra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice clean Decals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure Psych, you sound like a reasonable guy. And I also disagree on a few of your answers. Here we go, As I said Psych, Experienced AirBrushers can make anything work using a mixture and varety of paint sytems. But, To start people off they need easy reliable steps to assure they will turn out a choice paintjob, and they need products that are more likely to produce good results than bad.

Ken, I started out using a Pasche H and used it about 4 years. For the price the gun is okay but for just a few dollars more you can buy guns with better atomization and control. When I used the H I always used the #3 tip. You can use the #3 tip for the body and for small parts. The trick to not becoming frustrated with that Paasche H is to thoroughly clean all those parts in the tip. The tinitest of crud can hide in all those tiny screws and washers and inside the tip. The H is an easy gun to use but keep an eye on those tiny parts that can clog it up.

Psych it's hard to tell from your pics just how smooth your cheap acrylic paint came out, But you did a nice job, as I showed in the pics I also posted. But, The effort put forth to use these cheap acrylic paints is far more than user friendly Enamels and even cheap aerosols. Any experienced AirBrusher can get good results using anything, even cheap craft paints, but those new to AirBrushing can get the same results, even better, and much faster, using any cheap aerosol through his airbrush. When I asked the rantersa in this thread to post their proven work with cheap craft paints you are the only one who actually did so Now just think what you can do with other more reliable, more user friendly paints that don't even cost more. I think what people miss is just how many Hobbyists quit due to the quality of first few paint jobs. If people get advice on other more user friendly paints they will have a beter shot at that first paintjob. Then they can move on like you and I who can paint using anything, even cheap craft paints.

Remember that adding a Filter will impede your airflow as will the addition of each foot of ducting. Consider all this when choosing the CFM of your fan motor. I have separate ducts running from each of 3 fans and everything is vented outside behind the house. Whether you are using Waterbased, Waterborne, Lacquers or Enamels, Air Pressure used, How long you paint, How much a filter (if you choose to use one) impedes your CFM at the intake, How well your ducting is sealed, All will determine how fast fumes dissipate

Greg, I don't believe you are using that Booth. That's just a pic you grabbed of the Net. But, never mind, I've already given the necessary info to the originator of the thread, Hooter. Greg, you and Art can have the thread now to do as you wish.

Greg, I'll appoint you Person In Charge Of Knowing What Other People Know Instead Of Posting What He Knows, If He Does Know!!!!!!! Kind of like the Amazing Criswell. I suggest you respect the information that the rest of us are posting, it's your's free for using. Obviously you have not seen every Paint Booth Greg, because Every Paint Booth does not have filters, as has been stated in threads just like this, over and over and over. Greg, do you have pics of the Paint Booth you are using??

Art, that $200 to $400 commercially available hobby paint booth you refer to is 20% value and 80% profit for the company. You get a 10 cent filter as nothing more than window dresing or swag to give the appearance of value. Why do you think people prefer to build their own?? I'll see your extra crispy (the sky is falling afain, oh my God) and raise you 13 years of safe, satisfied and daily use in not only my own PaintBooth but those I've assisted others in building.

Art, the scope of this continues to escape you. You keep referring to industrial spray painting and the discussion is about AirBrushing,--------- AirBrushing --------- it's about AirBrushing!!!!!!!!!!!! This atmosphere you keep referring to that is filled with dust particles, paint particles, large amounts of volatile liquids, does not apply here. If you must use filters, for whatever your reason, then go ahead, but from experience I suggest not using them because I don't. Oh, never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Art, we certainly want to believe those Insurance Companies now don"t we!!!!!! How about we just leave our whole society in the hands of the Govt and the Insurance Companies and let them take care of us. All that Fire Hazard Safety stuff is just another way to tax and scare us. Jesus., we are talking about AirBrushing, not firing up the Concorde in a room full of Gunpowder. Art, trust me, experience speaks for itself, these Paint Booths do not explode. I suggest you search the Internet for catastrophic life changing explosions due to AirBrushing.

Hooter I received your Private Message with a copy of your questions so instead of responding twice I guess i'll just answer it here to benefit everyone. I appreciate your comments saying my written Tutorials on this subject looked to be the best way to go. Sure, two motors will work even better but just run out two separate ducts instead of trying to combine them into a T, that would only impede airflow. These kinds of homemade table top Paint Booths are easy to make, work fine, are easy to change the motors out of, and will take your painting skills to the next level. I recommend not using any kind of filters in front of the fan blades. That's only cutting off your air supply to the fans. I don't use filters. Since 1999 my Paint Booth has been used every day for hours, and I've shown many others how to build their own inexpensively. There is no need to worry about dust, static electricity, real electricity or anything else causing explosions. If you are using Gasoline for paint or using Natural Gas as your compressed propellant, then a tiny infinitesimal spark might be a problem. 13 years now and all the motors that have been in my Booth have yet to produce a spark, static electricity or Nuclear reaction. Make sure your wiring is correct and you'll never have a problem. We actually had a Professor in Chemistry on another site weigh in how the spray emitting from an AirBrush cannot be ignited with a "nearby" sprark. If you have more questions just PM me again or just post your questions on the board. If you build your own Paint Booth you'll get a much better product than anything you can buy. Enjoy your booth and use it often, I do mine.

I use IE and sometimes Mozilla, both without a problem in the whole time I've been here. I routinely empty my cache and delete all temporary files.

Let me clue you in Ace, I do make a living from the information in my CadillacPat's DieCast Customizing Tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, I am glad they are read and used to such an extent. Anyone can copy and paste Ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the past decade I've seen my own CadillacPat's DieCast Customizing Tutorials copied word for word, used as promotional descriptions on eBay, even partially paraphrased and posted as someone's own. Doesn't bother me a bit since it proves the writings are not only appreciated but used to great length. Everything I write is posted for FREE use so I find the plagiarism amusing. CadillacPat

W, if you will select the type lighting, Incandescent or Sunlight on your camera, you will lose that yellow or pinkish background haze. Or, you can just select Auto Color when you photo edit your pics. Jim, wax paper will melt from the lights.

HotWheels has made a 1/64 version for years, Here's one I made as part of a 3 car set,

The "point" is I don't have your problems in understanding not only the "point" of my reponse. nor using PhotoBucket, or having tech problems with this site. You've already been given several detailed choices to remedy your problem.
